1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to a smokers pipe.

The object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe which isconstructed so that nicotine, tar, or other deleterious substances willbe prevented from passing into the smokers mouth.

Another object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe whichincludes filter elements that can be readily removed and replaced, thepipe being readily disassembled for cleaning or replacement of parts,the pipe insuring a cooler smoke for the user.

A further object of the invention is to provide a smokers pipe which isextremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of thefollowing description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application, and inwhich like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout thesame:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional View taken through a smokers pipeconstructed according to the present invention;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2--2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the body member;

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view of the baiile cylinder;

Figure 5 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the bowl;

Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view taken through the inner bowl;

Figure '7 is a fragmentary elevational view showing the condenser and aportion of the mouthpiece.

Referring in detail to the drawings, there is shown a pipe which may bemade of any suitable material, and the pipe of the present inventionincludes an elongated mouthpiece I D which is provided with alongitudinally extending bore I I. Figure 1. One end of the mouthpieceIl! is adapted to be conveniently inserted in the smokeris mouth, whilethe other end of the mouthpiece I is shaped to dene a shoulder I2.

The pipe further includes an outer bowl I4 which has a stem I extendingtherefrom or formed integrally therewith. The stem I5 is provided with alongitudinally extending bore I6, and an interior portion of the stem l5is cut away to define a chamber Il. Positioned in the chamber I1 is acondenser i 8, Figure '7, and the condenser I8 may be made of anysuitable material, such as metal. The condenser It is made or providedwith a plurality of ns I9, so

that as the smoke passes thereover, any -tar or other deleteriousmaterial being carried by the smoke will condense onto the condenser I8.The condenser I8 isV provided with openings 2 0, Figure 7, so that thesmoke can readily pass from the bore I6, through the chamber |1, thenthrough the openings 2|! and then through a bushing 2| and finallythrough the bore II into the smoker's mouth.

Arranged in spaced relation within the outer bowl I4 is an inner bowl22. The inner bowl 22 is provided with an annular shoulder 23, Figure 1,and the shoulder 23 rests or abuts the upper edge of the outer bowl I4.The inner bowl 22 is adapted to hold the tobacco being burned, therebeing an opening 24 at the bottom of the bowl 22 for a purpose to belater described.

Interposed between the inner bowl 22 and the outer bowl I4 is a bailecylinder 25, Figure 4. The baille cylinder 25 is provided with a lower,interiorly threaded collar 26, and the collar 26 projects through anopening 2l in the outer bowl I4. The baffle cylinder 25 denes, with theinner bowl 22 and outer bowl I4, a pair of compartments or smokepassageways 28 and 29.

Arranged contiguous to the upper end of the baiiie cylinder 25 is anannular lter element 30 which is made of any suitable material, such asabsorbent cotton. It will be seen that the filter 30 separates thecompartments 28 and 29 from each other, so that as smoke is drawnthrough the opening 24, the smoke will pass first through thecompartment 29, then the smoke will be filtered by the element 30, andthen the smoke will pass through the compartment 28 and into the boreI6.

'Ihe pipe further includes a body member 3|, Figure 3, and the bodymember 3| includes an annular threaded portion 32 which is adapted to bearranged in engagement with the threaded collar 26 of the baillecylinder 25. The body member 3| is further provided with a at, knurledknob 33, so that the body member 3| can be readily removed from orreplaced in the pipe, and further, the bottom of the body member 3|enables the pipe to be supported on a table or other member when notbeing used. Projecting upwardly from the body member 3| is a pluralityof spaced, parallel fingers 34, and a filter pad 35 which may be ofabsorbent cotton is positioned between the ngers 34 and extends lon-`gitudinally through the major portion of the body member 3|. The filterpad 35 is positioned directly below the opening 24, so that a large 3portion of the moisture or juices from the burning tobacco will becollected by the filter pad 35.

From the foregoing, it is apparent that a smokers pipe has been providedwherein a cleaner and cooler smoke wil1 be insured. The tobacco beingburned is positioned in the inner bowl 22, and the smoke passes firstthrough the opening 24, then through the compartment 29, then throughthe filter element 30, next through the compartment 28 into the bore I6,then through the chamber I1, then through the bushing 2l, and iinallythrough the bore H into the smokers mouth. A major portion of thejuices, such as tar, nicotine and the like, or moisture, will becollected in the absorbent pad 35, while the iilter element 30 will alsohelp to purify the smoke. Further, the condenser I8 will cause anyremaining tar to precipitate out.

The cotton 35 will collect or receive the moisture from the burningtobacco, so that pipe gurgling willbe prevented. Thus, the smoker willnot draw any of the offensive accumulation from the heel of the pipe.The filter element 30 retains the smoke tar and some of the moisture.The at bottom of the body member 3| prevents the pipe from turning overand spilling ashes when not being smoked.

I claim:

A smokers pipe comprising an outer hollow bowl provided with a stemextending therefrom, there being a longitudinally extending borearranged in said stem communicating with the interior of said bowl, anelongated mouthpiece provided with a shoulder snugly seated in saidbore, there being a longitudinally extending bore arranged in saidmouthpiece communicating with the bore in said stem, an inner bowlarranged in spaced relation within said outer bowl said inner bowlhaving a laterally extending shoulder, a baille cylinder interposedbetween said inner and outer bowls and dening a pair of compartments,one of said compartments being an inner compartment and surrounding saidinner bowl, and the other of said compartments being an outercompartment between said baie and said bowl there being an opening inthe bottom of said inner bowl, an annular lter element positioned '4around the upper end of said baffle cylinder, said lter element being sodimensioned that it conipletely lls the vertical space between the upperend of the baiiie cylinder and the innermost lower shoulder of the innerbowl and extends laterally to contact both the outer wall of the innerbowl and the inner wall of the outer bowl thus separating saidcompartments from each other so that smoke drawn from said inner bowlwill pass outwardly of the opening therein into said inner compartmentand will pass outwardly of said inner compartment through said lter intosaid outer compartment and then through the bores in the stem andmouthpiece, the lower portion of said baiile cylinder defining anintermediate threaded collar, a body member including an exteriorlythreaded portion arranged in engage- 'ment `with said collar, a atknurled knob arranged on the lower end of said body member, the upperend of said body member being provided with a plurality of spacedparallel fingers, and an absorbent pad positioned in said body memberbetween said fingers.
